- Inès Hassan, Senior Projects Manager at the International Science Council
When dealing with a crisis, everybody wants certainty – citizens want reassurance, scientists want facts, policymakers want solutions. How can scientists and policymakers navigate a situation where there is no certainty, where scientific consensus can shift suddenly, and where the very foundations of understanding are in constant flux?
Salim S. Abdool Karim is a South African clinical infectious diseases epidemiologist widely recognised for his research contributions in HIV prevention and treatment. For a year, Prof Abdool Karim was the Chair of the South African Ministerial Advisory Committee on COVID-19.
Leading the discussion is Dr Inès Hassan, coordinator of the International Science Council COVID-19 Scenarios Project (https://council.science/covid-19-scenarios/) which is looking at the mid- and long-term impacts of COVID-19 for which policymakers need to plan.
